Thousands of international students at Harvard University are scrambling after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security revoked the school’s accreditation for hosting foreign scholars. The move forces new admissions to halt and current students to transfer—a policy critics call 'disruptive and isolating.'
🔍 The decision comes amid heightened tensions, with Chinese students specifically barred from U.S. study programs under claims of 'national security risks.' While officials cite ideological concerns, students and educators argue the policy undermines academic freedom and cross-cultural exchange. 'This isn’t just about visas—it’s about closing doors to global talent,' said one anonymous graduate student.
🌐 The ripple effect? Universities worldwide fear similar measures could spread, impacting over 1 million international students in the U.S. alone. Meanwhile, social media buzzes with #LetThemStudy campaigns, blending TikTok activism and LinkedIn advocacy to push for policy reversals.
💬 'Education should bridge nations, not divide them,' tweeted a former Harvard exchange scholar. As debates heat up, many wonder: Will this reshape the future of global education—or spark a diplomatic thaw?
